2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Lebron’s free agency list:

Kawhi - Talked with, rumor of being in Philly during playoff series w/ Tor to meet with Kawhi

Kyrie - Talked with, had dinner with Kyrie

Jimmy - Talked with

AD - Recently had dinner with

Guy is putting in some work and it’s only May.

 

And then along came Magic

 

he better be. pretty sure he's our only hope. and thus his only hope.

 

People are definitely going to be mad about it but I’ll gladly take it. We’ve seen failure of cap space usage multiple times now. Playoff proven all star that can win and takeover games....

Sign me up every time. We still have all our assets, we add another all star asset, it’s a win all around.

Ingram/Ball/Butler on the perimeter with Vogel. Give me that.

Lebron/Butler/Davis trio, give me that too.

I like those options.

 

agreed; lebron and vogel are the only ones that can save us now (and kobe), and they must deliver an all-star asset. no more rookies...

 

Someone's gotta do it and I hear Linda is busy working with Jason Kidd on a workable usurper strategy.

 

OK .... all the GMs out there .... you know who you are .....



"Should a team feel comfortable giving Jimmy Butler — who will turn 30 before next season, is a hard-charging personality who plays a hard-charging style that can be hard on his body, and has only once played 70 or more games in the past six seasons — a four-year, $141 million max contract?"

I'd take Jimmy in a New York minute.

My FA list is:
KD isn't coming and Klay ain't leaving, with that out of the way...
1) Kawhi
2) Butler
3) Kyrie
4) Kemba
5) there is no five

We have to get one of those four. We can't afford to waste Bron's window by signing Middleton and a shooter (Bogdan, Brook, Danny, JJ, Ariza, or Wes). That's a failure that should result in Jeanie and Rob handing in their keys.

Kawhi seems like a reach, but he's so... different. No decision he makes will surprise me. Hopefully he really doesn't like being King of the North.

Kawhi and Butler are culture changes (they're not close in talent levels to be clear) . Butler can be a handful, if there's not a strong leadership group in tact both on the court and on the bench. Bron and Vogel qualify though. Butler loves defense, Vogel loves defense. All our kids are hard workers, not like KAT.

I'm growing more and more certain we can have Kyrie if we want him. I think Bron hooked him. But I'd rather address a need, not a position we already are ok at. I don't mind moving Zo, but I don't want to have to move Zo. If that makes sense. I want it to organically make sense in a trade, rather feeling like we have to move him because we just signed a guy at his spot to a max deal. That changes if we can attach Kidd with Zo in a trade. I might settle for a draft pick in that case... kidding, a little. Push comes to shove, I'll take Kyrie over Zo because it'll make Bron happy and he's an all star talent. We're desperate for that level of player. Talent lures talent. Better for our star building program.

Kemba. Same as the Kyrie thing. Redundant position. Would rather address a bigger need. But he's tough and competes. Wouldn't turn him away.

 

I don’t want to give Butler max, and I don’t think anybody else wants to either.

However, if he did stay healthy, he has shown that he can be productive and effective not being the main guy.

 

Pete almost died (Laker Film Room) Click on to see his 12 posts regarding his near death experience.



PS. It’s Lebron’s fault tbh

 

Holy crap, glad Pete is pulling through from that assortment of nasty issues.

 

After a caller suggested BI, Hart, and 4th to Washington for Beal, Screaming A said Bron has been in contact with Beal and he and the Lakers like him as a 3rd wheel.

 

For me it's all about what that team looks like. If you roll out...
Mcgee
Bron
Kawhi
Beal
Ball
6th man: Kuz

In that scenario, who cares if BI, 4th, and Hart are gone. We're getting banners. Can probably get there with Butler, the future isn't as promising and the window remains small.

With Kyrie and Beal, I think we can make noise but defense will be rough. Probably cap at 2nd best in the West. Depends what we get for Ball, cause I really don't see a way forward with both he and Kyrie on the same team.

 

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you know AEG has been asked to work on a Kyrie pitch regarding the business side as of last week. Sorry for the delay in reporting this.

Best,
Mr. Rambis.
